Ra's Statements About 2D Entities

[Monica]

Hi, i just jumped in the thread and this is my first post on this forum. I don't know if my opinion is something you already encountered or not but I thought sharing it might help you understand a minority amongs meat eaters.

Hi matrix_drumr! Thank you for sharing your experience. First, let me assure you that I don't think you are a 'monster'! I have no judgment towards you. You are doing what you need to do to survive, just as our ancestors did what they needed to do to survive. There is a huge difference between eating for survival, vs eating for taste, habit or custom, which accounts for the vast majority of meat consumption.

There is also a huge difference between:

I would rather not kill animals but until I find a solution, I am eating meat because I need to survive

vs

I don't care about animals...they're just 2D anyway...and anyway...I like bacon!

Yes, this topic has been addressed. I for one do recognize that some people may have a difficult time transitioning to a plant-based diet, and have expressed, in past comments, that those with unusual medical conditions may even temporarily benefit from eating meat.

To clarify: Science shows us that the human body doesn't need meat. Many people might think they need it, but there isn't any biological need for it. All amino acids and other nutrients found in meat are readily found in plant foods. Even B12 can be synthesized by the human gut, given the proper bacteria. (But since most people now wash their produce, we are no longer getting that bacteria; hence the need for supplementation.)

So, it is my belief, based on the available science (including clinical studies of thousands of people who thought they couldn't be vegan but are now happy, healthy vegans, given the right education and resources), that even those with 'unusual medical conditions' can indeed thrive on a vegan diet. Science also shows us that animal protein is a powerful cancer-causing carcinogen. Being that 1 out of 3 women and 1 out of 2 men get diagnosed with cancer, this is something to take into consideration.

Having said all that, I do also recognize that humans have been eating animals for many thousands of years, and it has permeated our culture. Add to that, the junk food of the last century, and the result is that the human body is now bogged down with many years' worth of toxins accumulated. Switching to a plant-based diet isn't easy for everyone, because of these factors. We are in a transition, and some people experience more challenges during this transition. You are one of those.

For my part I do eat meat and I am fully aware of what is done to most animals in the industry. This has led me to refine my consumer's habits. I instead buy biological meat that is not bred in hostile, stressfull and unhealthy environnement. Still it is meat but so far this is the only contribution i could bring to my habits as I encounter a major problem with becoming vegeterian. I simply dislike( to the point of instant throw up) almost every vegetable and half of the existing fruits. For the vegetable only, I'd say the ones I can eat I still don't find them enjoyable but more like bearable if you prefer. I found very few recipe that can follow those criterias. I agree the body doesnt NEED meat but I'd say this is mostly true for a majority but some people after having their body conditioned to eat meat for most of their lives have found their system not being able to do the transition to vegetarian. I can say myself I feel my stomach to be a little weird after eating a full meal of vedgetables as my body probably has developped very few bacterias to digest them. I don't consider my eating habits as containing that much meat but I'll admit I have a poor diet because of the previous reasons. Still I love animals and feel a strong connection with them, maybe even more than humans. I have no bad intentions whatsoever on the situation my body is simply really resitant with  the ingestion of vedgetables. What does that make me? A monster? Should I put animals in priority and let myself die because it seems unethical from a 3D perspective?

No, you aren't a monster and No, you shouldn't sacrifice your own health. But, if you like, I am happy to assist you.

I think you are on the right track to figuring out why you're having such a reaction to plant foods. It likely does have to do with bacteria. I offer the following info, in the hopes that you may find it helpful. First, some background, which might explain why your body is reacting as it is:

Since the human body isn't designed to digest meat, meat tends to putrify in the colon. Carnivorous animals have very short digestive tracts, compared to the very long intestines of humans. Carnivores also have much stronger digestive enzymes. So the meat is pushed through their systems very quickly, and is soaked in strong enzymes capable of digesting even fur and bone.

The human digestive system lacks these tools, so the meat starts to rot while traversing the colon. This is why constipation and colon cancer are very common. (As a side note, Dr. Hiromi Shinya, co-inventor of the colonoscopy, states in his book The Enzyme Factor that, after doing 300,000 colonoscopies, he can tell by looking at a person's colon whether they have cancer...not just in the colon, but anywhere in the body. He has a near-100% success rate with healing cancer, with zero recurrences, explained in his book. But the point is that the state of the colon is crucial to health.)

So, what happens when plant foods, rich in fiber, are introduced after an entire lifetime of eating heavy, decaying animal flesh, accumulating toxins in the colon?

The sludge gets stirred up.

This is called detox. This can happen when eating fruits and veggies, or starting to take any sort of superfoods, like bluegreen algae, chlorella, spirulina, etc., or when drinking Electrolyzed Reduced Water. Any of these action steps, which are supposedly healthy, can result in detox.

Detox is when the accumulated toxins are getting stirred up faster than the body can eliminate them. Common detox symptoms include nausea, runny nose, skin rashes (the skin is an eliminative organ), bloating, alternating constipation and diarrhea, and even vomiting.

I've seen people throw up after drinking a single glass of my water. I've also seen them get the runs. I've seen people get sick after a couple of capsules of bluegreen algae. I have to help these people go very slowly...sometimes they even have to dilute the water, so their bodies don't dump decades' worth of toxins all at once.

My dad used to complain that he couldn't eat bananas because they gave him gas. I never understood that, at the time, but I do now. It wasn't the bananas...it was the high-meat diet that caused him to react to what should have been a normal, healthy food.

In other words, it isn't the fruits and veggies that are the problem, but the accumulated toxins stored in the body that are getting stirred up.

So what to do?

Thankfully, there are solutions! But it involves a healing process, through gradual, baby steps. Detox doesn't have to happen overnight. It can be slowed down, so that it isn't so uncomfortable.

My suggestions would include:

Don't try to eat raw fruits and veggies yet. You aren't ready for that. Instead, eat cooked veggies which are easier to digest and less detoxifying.

Rather than trying to replace the meat with fruits and veggies, focus instead on well-cooked brown rice and oatmeal which are gentle on the gut. Meanwhile, start introducing some probiotics, to help reintroduce the healthy bacteria. And, drink lots of water, and completely eliminate sodas and sports drinks, which are essentially 'anti-water.' (Contact me privately if you'd like me to find someone in your area who can give you the best water, for free. It can dramatically accelerate the detox process.)

Also, as the body detoxifies, guess what, the taste buds change! Yes, I see this all the time. People who used to hate veggies suddenly start craving salads. This is common. But the first step is detox.

Here is a book that might help you:

Healing Digestive Illness: Root Causes and Solutions

Once the body has detoxed, and the beneficial bacteria restored, the body should be able to handle the foods it was designed for. Even then, as Dr. Gabriel Cousens explains, some people do better with higher proteins and fats (more nuts, seeds, avocados, nut milks, etc.) and less carbs. Your metabolic type might be in that category.

I hope this helps! Good luck! Please feel free to contact me privately if I can be of any assistance.
